All the Heroines are my Ex-girlfriends

Chapter 19: How to Tame Your Tsundere Waifu

Eriri: I'm starting to understand everything now!

Clearly, every little gesture is screaming: "I like you."

But the words used are so distant and formal.

This is the legendary tsundere, isn't it?

The corner of Eriri's mouth curled into a proud smile.

Umu, I'm so smart!

And then, she got a tap on the forehead.

Yukima Azuma withdrew his hand, looking at Eriri, who was holding her forehead and raising an eyebrow.

"I get the feeling you're thinking something really rude, so I had to tap you."

"Haven't you already tapped me!? You're supposed to say that before tapping me! No, you're not allowed to tap me!"

Eriri bared her small fangs, as if trying to intimidate him.

Looking at Eriri's expression, Yukima Azuma knew exactly what she was thinking.

A tsundere thinking someone else is a tsundere.

In reality, Yukima Azuma was just "taming" her.

Getting back together with Eriri was actually very simple.

The flower that represents Sawamura Spencer Eriri is the lily.

The meaning of this flower is: Pure love, dignity, and a harmonious soul.

Eriri is the type of person who, once she likes someone, will almost never change her feelings.

Even though she's a tsundere, all she needs is a little coaxing.

However, if you just do that, it won't mean anything.

Because Eriri always says one thing and thinks something else, being in a relationship with her is truly exhausting.

If they just got back together without any changes, they would just repeat the same mistakes as before.

If they've broken up, they should at least be more mature about it.

Yukima Azuma decided to "tame" Eriri, so that she would change her stubborn tsundere ways a little.

At the very least, Eriri needed to learn to be more proactive in love.

As for how to tame a tsundere?

The most important thing is to know how to pull and push.

Pull a little, push a little, and magic will happen!

Keep the relationship in a state of being half-close, half-distant, so that the tsundere feels bittersweet but not too bitter to lose all hope.

"Nom-nom, where did you go to high school?"

"Finish your food before talking!"

"Where did you go to high school?"

"Toyosaki Private School."

Hearing that, Eriri's heart was suddenly filled with joy.

She was also attending Toyosaki Private School.

Does that mean, after this spring break...

She and he would be able to go to school together?

Moreover, Toyosaki Private School didn't sort classes based on academic performance.

This meant:

"There's a chance we'll be in the same class!"

Just the thought of it made Eriri feel incredibly happy.

Fortunately, Toyosaki didn't divide classes by performance.

If they did, there's no way they'd be in the same class.

Eriri's Japanese literature score was just average, her math wasn't any better, and her English was a complete disaster.

It's clear that Eriri is half-Japanese, half-British.

Yet her English grades never seem to pass average.

It felt like the British blood running through her veins was crying out in agony!

By the way, Yukima Azuma had always scored perfect marks in both math and English since he was young.

His Japanese literature scores were a bit low at first, but in the past two years, he had achieved excellent results.

After all, he was a reincarnate.

In his previous life, he had completed a master's degree.

Revising middle school and high school work wasn't difficult for him.

.....

By the time they finished dinner, the sky had turned completely dark.

They walked together to the train station.

As Eriri looked at Yukima Azuma waiting for the train with her, her eyes sparkled with joy.

When they were still together, Yukima Azuma had lived in a neighborhood near her house.

But then he suddenly moved away.

Even now, Eriri had no idea where Yukima Azuma was living.

Since they were riding the same train... asking him casually shouldn't be that weird, right?

"Hey, by the way, where are you getting off?"

"Shibuya Station."

Eriri softly said, "Oh."

Shibuya Station was quite far from her house, about ten kilometers away.

At least it was in the same direction.

When the train arrived at the station, both of them got on.

Since it was rush hour in the evening, there were no seats available on the train.

In fact, the train car was very crowded, a little stuffy even.

Eriri is 158 cm tall.

Although she can reach the hanging handrails,

it's actually a bit difficult, requiring her to straighten her body and stretch her arm out.

She had to maintain a very tiring posture.

About 20 minutes passed,

and Eriri felt that her arms and legs were completely sore.

Just then, the train jerked suddenly.

"Oh my god!"

With a sudden exclamation,

Eriri lost her balance and tilted to one side.

If she had fallen to the floor, it would have been painful, but that wasn't the worst part.

The most embarrassing thing would have been falling into a stranger's arms—it would have been extremely awkward.

But that didn't happen.

Eriri felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist.

From the point of contact, a warm sensation gradually spread throughout her body.

This feeling was very familiar to Eriri.

She just hadn't felt it for a long time.

"Hey, your hand..."

Eriri whispered, her cheeks flushing.

Yukima Azuma used his arm to hold her, gently guiding her to a corner of the train car.

It was a spot where Eriri wouldn't be pushed around by the crowd.

But to keep her balance, she could only hold onto Yukima Azuma's arm.

"I've been wanting to ask this since earlier, what does 'hey' mean? Isn't that kind of rude?"

Yukima Azuma let go of Eriri and gently tapped her forehead with his finger.

"Ah!" Eriri raised her hand to cover her forehead. "I told you not to tap me!"

After a brief moment of resistance,

Eriri finally paid attention to Yukima Azuma's question.

As for the form of address...

Eriri wanted to call him "Azuma" like she used to.

Because that was how she called him, and using each other's names would make things feel more intimate.

But!

"Sawamura-san," he called her that.

Every time she thought about it, Eriri got angry.

"Yukima-kun, is that okay?"

Eriri said, carefully watching Yukima Azuma's expression.

She wanted to see some sign of disappointment on his face.

However, much to her disappointment,

Yukima Azuma didn't change his expression at all.

Eriri felt a bit let down.

'Doesn't he care about me?'

While she was thinking this, the train jerked again.

Eriri suddenly leaned against Yukima Azuma's arm, which was pressed against the wall of the train car.

Yukima Azuma's arm and the train wall formed a small safe space.

Eriri was inside it, feeling incredibly at ease.

'Isn't he the kind of person who's a "tsundere"?'
